It seems so, and the fact that people are accusing me of ageism as I pointed out that a company hires only people below 24 years of age is very telling...
You didn't point that out, you made a vague complaint about someones age, and the comment you replied to doesn't even give you a good basis to assume that, so it's no wonder nobody understood what you tried to hint at. Hint: in many companies, a project involves only a small part of the workforce.
